I like how you show us the protective hawk sheltering her fledgling in the first part. Your bridge line gives us a rainbow which connects to the final part that shows us the blessings of enduring hope whether a hawk or a human.

Comment from royowen
A beautifully written form I've never seen before, the middle works well, it's works a little like an envoi, a sort of statement that underlines the whole poem, it's great to see you being adventurous in your writing Jim, well done, blessings Roy

Hello Jim. I enjoyed reading your verse and the cleverly crafted Puente form. I enjoy poems that use a certain criteria in content and form. It really challenges the writer to make it all happen. Great job.

Comment from estory
Nice use of this free verse form to give us this poem about perseverance, and overcoming the struggles of life to get into that space of light, hope. Life is tenacious. That's what this poem tells us. I like the natural sound of the voice here. estory

JLR:
Your excellent poem touts this hawk's strengths. This is a lovely chapter in the life of a noble bird.
I really like the 'bending,' not yielding phrase.
Excellent work.
Blessings,
Cindy

Comment from Beck Fenton
I have difficulty with this poem as my mind tries to unite the two stanzas even though you told me they would be related but different feeling. Reading it finds me contemplating the identity of "her" in the second stanza. Keeping her anonymous intrigues me. Well done in this Puente offering.

Beck, that is the beauty in this style of poem. The "she" in the second stanza very well could be the hawk or it could be a little old woman in revery or a teen bursting through the challenges of young love.
Comment from JoannaN
You created a hauting image, of despair, fear, danger, which contrasts with the optimistic image of rainbow, as a symbol of hope. This bridge is well-done and creative.
